Primitive culture and rational culture

Primitive culture is a term often used in early anthropology to describe a culture that lacks economic development and modernity, including writing, advanced technology and dense population. In the early days, it was mostly used by Europeans to describe the culture of non-western society during the colonial exploration period. The word primitive culture is also the title of Taylor's famous works, and it was called "the father of anthropology" at the beginning of19th century.

Rational culture, cultural rationality and social rationality are the basic beliefs of modern times.

Divine virtue, heavenly transformation. Be kind to your body and use it. Heaven, nature and justice are the destiny of human beings. The Doctrine of the Mean says: Tao, nature and life. "University" said: Tao, virtue and goodness. The Analects of Confucius says: wisdom, benevolence and courage. Laozi said: Only when you get lost can you be virtuous. Courtesy before morality, courtesy before benevolence. Courtesy before righteousness. Courtesy before reason. Mencius said: kindness, benevolence and sincerity. Honesty is the way to heaven. Sincere thinking is the way of people.

The golden mean is orthodoxy. "University" is a political system. Mencius is a unified knowledge. The orthodoxy of Confucius and Confucianism is the Six Classics. Four books are biographies. The beliefs of Taoism, learning and politics in the Four Books are different from those in the Six Classics. The orthodoxy of the Six Classics is the Book of Changes and the Book of Songs. The academic system of the Six Classics is the Book of Songs and the Book of Rites. The political unity of the Six Classics is Chunqiu, Jing Yue and Zhouyi.

"If you know me, it's heaven." Heaven here refers to the sincerity of heaven. Honest people and sincere people are the basic beliefs of China culture. It is different from the existence of western culture and the basic belief of existence. China culture is people-oriented. Western culture is based on God. People-oriented culture and God-oriented culture are people-oriented. Man, subject and science are the basic concepts of modern people-oriented and god-oriented culture. Rationality, cultural rationality and social rationality are the basic beliefs of modern times. Whether it is humanistic culture or divine culture.

To sum up: the background and development direction of the two are different, but they also overlap. Please experience it carefully and learn more about buying related books.

Recommend two books:

One is Taylor's primitive culture.

The other is: cultural philosophy: cultural criticism at the intersection of theoretical rationality and practical rationality-
